WAG - The Shiniest Midterm Ever
I’m on the verge of March-Midterm-Madness.
I have four midterms due this week, a story revision due as soon as possible (AKA, when I get around to it), and another story due next Monday. The week before Spring Break will be a breeze, but the forecast of the weather I’ll have to traverse first will be very “interesting.”
My first midterm is today, but I’m not worried about it because I already finished it. Yes, the take home midterm (only my second one in my college career [Thank you Professor Bondeson for Humanities 103]) that was one of the highlights of last week.
After working on it a pinch at a time over the course of the weekend, I finally answered the last question this afternoon. It was supposed to be typed up, and after the last SpelChek, I hit print.
As I started to skim through a music folder for appropriate “happy dance music” (in the key of I’m glad I have one-of-four now done), I did a double take when seeing sparks come from the printer.
Wait… Not sparks, sparkles!
Before the weekend, I’d made certificates for Stakeholder and Faculty Appreciation Week for the Journalism and Mass Communications (JMC) community. Apparently, I’d left the shiny paper in the printer.
I quickly swapped the paper out, but it was too late to salvage the first page. It was irrevocably dazzling.
I decided not to reprint the page because I wanted to conserve paper, I didn’t want to trash the luminous sheet, and I figured my Internet Law professor would appreciate the effort. I wrote a brief note to my professor, and a scrap piece of neon green paper, explaining the brilliantly flashing front page and stapled the whole pile together.
So, in 20 minutes when I turn in the midterm, I bet I’ll have the most radiant midterm of the whole class.
Wonder if that’s worth any extra credit.
